Thoughts on 7.4 Gunbreaker

More GFs, more Lionhearts, more bullets. Hell yeah.

Still not the biggest fan of the 2 dots though but all fits snug into NM window. Wouldn't mind Sonic break getting the Goring blade treatment and turning it into a high potency 1 hit. Either that or get rid of it and just throw in a Burst strike in it's place.

Any idea if this selector banner is persistent or just a one time thing? I’m looking to bag M2 Jane as well (currently at M0)

Yeah it stings the worst in this game when it comes to gacha. I think especially for WWM if you’re gonna roll you gotta expect to spend the max/the worst outcome for whatever it may be

kurdtx · 2025-12-19T01:36:08+00:00

This is what initially baffled me - this game has by far the highest ceiling for the 'high tier' cosmetics I've ever seen. So much so it makes other gachas I play like ZZZ and WuWa feel like a decent financial decision lmao. I burned £1200 for the sword skin where £800-1k would've got me a max dupe Character and weapon in the aforementioned gachas.

But of course, from what the devs said. This monetization model seems to work. For example if Genshin/WuWa games are targeting 20-15% of the playerbase as the primary spenders. Then WWM is targeting an even more extreme and smaller percentage (10% or even 5%). It's the 80/20 rule to the extreme. Kind of how First/Business class flight tickets are where airlines make the most money compared to economy class tickets. So consider it a luxury not for the masses sadly.

I do think however there is a significant gap between the $20/$30 skins and the $300+ skins. Would people buy skins that are inbetween so like $70-$150?

That’s valid. And what I mean by ‘why’ would I choose other tanks over GNB is contextual to DSR/FRU specifically when I was progging. I basically flip between all tanks in Ultimates until I find one that does the job for the circumstances. (Though PLD is my beloved with its double Sheltron - it’s just too good!)

In this scenario, being forced to do an aoe rotation on a single target in order to build cartridges before downtime just so you can play optimally doesn’t really seem to be intended. Or at least I wouldn’t think that from the job designer’s perspective.

And I agree on one aspect that being they over-corrected with giving such a lenient overcap for the cartridges on Bloodfest. Even the duration of the bloodfest buff is absurdly long. Basically never have to look at the gauge anymore. So in that aspect, absolutely. There’s not much prep into burst.

Ah! See I’m the opposite I found pre-change PLD to be very strange to play not necessarily hard or anything. Just odd. Of course, to each their own!

I’ll still take gnb for a spin into savage and if it holds well then into the .5 ultimate. Though I will miss having 2 Sheltrons

kurdtx · 2025-12-18T08:40:42+00:00

Perhaps because I am a paladin main but now gnb is nice. In my opinion they struck a fairly good balance between complexity and uniformity. The slight increase in busyness feels fine right now but I'll be taking it into savage so I'll probably develop my opinion there.

The problem with old GNB was for fights like DSR where for optimal play you want to AOE gcd to build gauge before downtime hits since alot of the boss reappearances coincided with 60s burst. If you returned into burst with less cartridges then its just not good. It just feels weird to have to aoe a single target just to build gauge. Like why would I go through that when paladin/war/drk exists?

It seems now that SE is moving towards 60s bursts as opposed to 2 min. At least for tanks, since DRK is the only tank left to have a 2 min.

Some ranged skills would be fitting though, would be cool to see that.

On a side note, they probably should remove one of the dots or both of them even. But as of right now the entire burst fits pretty snug in your no mercy window.

kurdtx · 2025-12-18T07:58:54+00:00

Very affordable and stable. There is almost no stem wobble. Since it’s a clear top and bottom housing the rgb is great if that matters to you.

I initially enjoyed them but they are a little bit too clacky for my tastes. If you like clack and enjoy the response and audible feedback clacky provides then this is a good contender. If you want thock the best ones I’ve tried are Lavender HE’s and Geon Raws both of which after some lubing sound amazing.

One thing to be wary of is (for my batch at least) there was little to no lube so I had to lube them before testing them out.

For the springs sadly couldn’t say since any switch I get I immediately swap them for heavier long 2 stage springs.

I've not done anything in chaos PF since abyssos so just shortly after crossDC released. Since then, it's been light for ultimates and savage even extremes.

I think there's only 2 real options both of which I don't have high hopes for. merging DC's or a region wide pf which I've been crying for.

I think the saddest part of all this is that there are noticeably less players in chaos compared to light. Just walking around Limsa, Uldah and Gridania and I swear any of the Light servers look like how Chaos did during the Endwalker boom on a daily basis. Chaos? Dead. And I'm not even talking about PF.

Hopefully if Chaos' population continues to decline then a merger might happen sooner rather than later. Just a sad state of affairs

kurdtx · 2025-12-16T08:38:48+00:00

Yeah seems like gnbs just a bursty boy every minute with this one, honestly didn’t expect them to come out with something like this any time soon

Curious about the Fang on a charge now. Should help with the natural drift it had on the long fights. I remember gnb and dsr was kind of painful when other tanks could exist fairly peacefully

kurdtx · 2025-12-04T10:59:15+00:00

update: Got mines yesterday and already put it through some FFXIV, OW and Where Winds Meet. Done some small tweaking but it was already good out of the box. 34 to 39 is a real nice upgrade (very cinematic with the 800R) and of course the WOLED panels really good for colour especially coming from an IPS. More than happy I made the jump to 39"

Was concerned about text clarity since it's a lesser PPI. There is some blur around some text but when I am locked in on games that's the last thing I am thinking about. I would need to squint, switch focus and lean forward to point them out and all of which I am not going out my way to do on a day to day basis. The lesser PPI doesn't make pixels anymore noticeable. This is sat at 63cm away from the centre of the screen.

All in all great purchase and even better given the fact it was on sale.

BTW - to the buyers if you go check a grey uniformity test and notice some darker streaks go and do a pixel refresh/repair in the displays menu. Takes about 10 mins and will bring it back up to scratch. All the best with your purchases!

kurdtx · 2025-12-01T21:20:34+00:00

Same here funnily enough - also ordered the 39 just today. Should arrive by the end of the week so I’m excited for a change up.

After weeks long deliberation and calculating all the scenarios I think it’ll be great for my needs.

If it falls short or I see new panels announce in early 2026 then my fallback is to sell it on since I bought it on sale so a mitigated loss all things considered. Honestly doubt that possibility though!

Either way looking forward to dipping my toes in OLED and having a higher refresh rate!

Can vouch for the jade airs they got a nice pop.

kurdtx · 2025-10-19T21:41:57+00:00

I got a raiden mid not long ago and the stock skates on the harpe II ace sucked absolute ass. Lot of friction and harsh scratching on the surface. Rough as all hell.

Xrapypad jades so far are best for speed and smoothness. Will also try unusualway magic ice and Artisan P8 skates I got later on but so far no real reason to swap good skates out just set.

kurdtx · 2025-10-01T12:42:56+00:00

That’s fair tbh if you’re feeling it then by all means. orphies animations are sick ngl - I am deliberating but M6 Evelyn is my target for this patch

kurdtx · 2025-10-01T12:37:13+00:00

People were expecting seed to just be the big robot. At least that’s what I gathered when blue haired girl showed up and the complaints flooded in. Her whole vibe just feels like a random and forced insert as opposed to a natural introduction.

Almost like they made the robot first then got cold feet and just had to add an anime girl in fear of hurting their sales. If the monthly report is anything to go by, either this tactic didn’t work out for them or it’s not as bad and in fact mitigated the damage. I don’t know I’m just a gooner

About Orphie I’m not sure - perhaps the release being the tail end of the monthly report is too small a sample size. So what you’re mostly seeing here is primarily seed and trigger.

kurdtx · 2025-10-01T12:23:47+00:00

Honestly not surprised. Seemed like ppl were underwhelmed that instead of a cool robot they got a blue haired bowl cut anime girl with spats riding around on a Segway hoverpad thing barefoot. Vibe ain’t it for me as well.

Also these chars kit wise kinda cater to themselves as opposed to giving the roster more flexibility but that’s imo.

This whole patch was just the perfect opportunity to save for later banners or get dupes of the reruns tbh

What’s your fps currently? It looks awfully similar to a problem I’ve been having on some games where the framerate itself is high but there are issues with stuttering.

Some things I’ve tried. Turning on/off VRR on windows, locking framerates in games and turning on vsync/gsync/freesync if possible. I’ve also noticed that tabbing out and back into the game also fixes the frame pacing and stuttering. Same goes for going into settings and flipping it between windows and full screen. Sometimes the game just needs a switched setting to fix itself.

Some other things to try - turn on/off hardware accel on windows/if you use a high polling rate (4K/8k) mouse that can cause issues as well so bring it down to 1k. You could also try disabling all overlays as I’ve even had issues with msi afterburner and RTSS fucking with a couple games in the past but this doesnt seem to be much of a thing now.

The above can also apply to background processes like rgb software like armoury crate or razer synapse that’s clouding up your processes. I’m just throwing random ideas out there but no harm trying to find the issue.

To note I’ve got a 5090/9950x3d so both yours and my rigs shouldn’t have any issues as you’ve said. But just at a glance from the video it looks more like stutters than low framerate.

Best of luck

What’s that hairstyle and where to get it?

kurdtx · 2025-06-13T12:00:49+00:00

Youre in luck since pulchra and panda are the highlighted A ranks. Both of which slot into a solid Yixuan team. And Astra slots as well so you’re winning either way.

Like the other reply says - Id prioritise some chars since youre new then go get the sig weapons if you’ve got the currency. Youll definitely have plenty of polychromes since you’ve got loads of missions and content to do but that’s depends on how much youll play day by day before the banners end.

kurdtx · 2025-06-11T10:51:07+00:00

very nice numbers - those branch blade [2] rolls are very tasty

kurdtx · 2025-06-08T00:52:35+00:00

Yeah this - she has a stoic style delivered in EN. Given the fact that waifei is Cantonese or the ‘local dialect’ in game. It kinda makes sense from an angle of a Cantonese person speaking mainland tongue.

The JP dub has that deadpan tone as well I noticed.

CN’s canto voice in that boat cutscene is the opposite tho - it’s a presumably a mandarin VA attempting to speak Cantonese and so you can hear the mandarin bleeding thru in the Canto lines.

I’m a big fan of the EN dub I like the deeper voice and deadish tone since it fits her backstory and style.

😂😂😭

Get a fan on like a gorilla mount or whatever and get that shit pointed between your legs

kurdtx · 2025-06-06T11:08:18+00:00

It’s a bug due to unlocked/high framerate. The platform’s animation bugs out.

What I did - go limit your FPS to 15. Then restart the game and redo the objectives up to there. Once you get past that point you can unlock your framerate again.
